sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In Proverbs it appears in warnings that liars, false witnesses and adulterers will not escape the consequences of their deeds. Interpretation: Tradition reads this as teaching that God's justice is certain, and that wrongdoing brings its result sooner or later. In the primary lessons: In stories, a wrong deed that is not paid for, or a bad act that someone gets away with; the tale often says it cannot go on.
